The Enforcement Directorate has uncovered documents related to assets amounting to Rs 33 crore during searches linked to a money laundering investigation involving a former Madhya Pradesh transport department official.

Raids were conducted at eight locations in Bhopal, Gwalior, and Jabalpur against ex-constable Saurabh Sharma and his associates, including Chetan Singh Gaur, Sharad Jaiswal, and Rohit Tiwari. The ED has termed these individuals as suspected beneficiaries of ill-gotten wealth.

Dating back to a Lokayukta police FIR alleging disproportionate assets, the case revealed Sharma's illicit property acquisitions in the names of family and associates. The ED uncovered evidence of Rs 6 crore in fixed deposits and discovered additional bank deposits and incriminating documents pertaining to properties in Sharma's name.
